FAST DAY.
The Way in Which the Holiday Was
Observed.

Fast Day was passed in Portland in the
usual manner. The day was quietly obsery-
ed. Places of business were generally closed,
and the streets were thronged all day with
people who enjoyed the fine spring weather.
The church services were held at eleven
O'Clock. At the First Parish, Rev. DR.. Hill
preached from the text, Corinthians, xii,
and 6.
eNow there are diyersities OF Gifts and there
are diversities of operations.
At the Free street church union services
were held. The devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. Messrs. Dunn and DAN
iels, and Rev. Mr.. Fem, d. d., preached the
sermon, taking as his text, Luke vi, 49,:
"Give and it shall be given unto you"
At st. Lawrence street church, the exer-
cises were of the character of devotional
service led by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Wright.
In short address at the opening of the
meeting the pastors theme was the observ-
ance of fast days. He WAS followed in re-
marks by nearly all present.
The various places of amusements were
well patronized in the afternoon and evening
and large numbers of people spent the day
at the islands The Portland Wheel Club
had pleasant run Of nine miles, wheeling
through Deering. Twenty members of the
club participated.
A great many people took advantage OF
the holiday to make short trip to Boston,

CAPTAIN SCOTT.
The officer Who Commands the
Canadian Cruisers.

Capt. Scott, of the British navy, was in
the city yesterday. Capt. Scott is the officer
in charge of the Canadian Fisheries Protec-
ton Service, and consequently commands
the cruisers whose duty it is to watch the
Yankee fishing schooners and see that their
adventurous shippers do not cross the three
mile Limit. The visit of Capt. Scott was
short one, and he stayed only from noon,
until the time of sailing of the st. John
boat
The commander of the Canadian navy is a
stout man.. of medium height, apparently
about sixty years old. His face wears be-
nevolent expression, and his eyes, as he
talks with you, twinkle good naturally from
behind pair of spectacles. His black beard
is streaked with gray. Attired in suit of
black broadcloth, of clerical cut, and wear
ing silk hat, the captain looks more like a
clergyman than naval officer.
Capt, Scott said. when approached by
reporter, that he was not allowed by his gov
eminent to make any statements to news
paper men, for the Canadian papers had so
distorted the facts told to their representa-
tiyes, that the government was quite unable
to recognize its own utterances. The Cap
tain said that his visit to Portland was not
in any way connected with public matters.
He had come to meet his daughter and ac-
company her to st. John on the steamer.
Adding that he must not be quoted, the
Captain departed for the wharf to take the
steamer
